The Message 14: End of the Journey/Top of the Moun
The receiver of The Message has gotten his people to the new world, but realizes he has taken a heavy toll and he won't be able to make it with them
Lyrics
End of the Journey/Top of the Mountain
W&M Ron Tintner
Prelude:
I've traveled and traveled year after year
Searching for someplace for home
Planet to planet, star after star
Exposed and awake far too long
But I'm paying the wages of space
Its cold, inescapable toll
I'm battered and beaten and reaching my limit
I've gotten too frail and too old
My journey is over
I've finished my run
My journey is over
It feels like its barely begun
Body of song:
I see... the end of a journey
I see... the end of the line
I see... a new beginning
But I don't think it's mine
I bought. into the message
I bought... into the plan
I thought... I knew the meaning
And I've taken it as far as I can
Chorus:
Now I've been to the top of the mountain
And seen the promised land
And even though Ill never set foot (there)
I think I understand
I understand
Instrumental Break
Chorus
